Champion Not Badly Affected
by Ritchie Go.
'OLD PUNCH" COMES BACK
Doctors and Manager Say Operation
Has Not Impaired Ring Con
. qneror; Willie Ritchie'
Stock Rises.
BAN FRANCISCO, May If. Although
fears were felt last night that Ad
Wolgast, champion lightweight fight
er of the world, had been rather seri
ously Injured In hi bout yesterday
against Willi Kitchle. the San Fran
cisco pretender, doctors who were
called in consultation today assured
Manager Tom Jonsr that hi charge
had not been badly damaged.
The champion suffered somewhat
during the night from paina In his kid
ney region and groin aa a result of the
fall with Ritohie In the first round.
The lacerated and slightly puffed Hp
did not bother him. When he had
passed inspection by the medical man
today he went out with friend for a
troll In the sunshine.
"Ritchie la Good Boy."
"Ritchie is a mighty good boy," said
Wolgast. "My experience with him did
me a world of good. We went fast and
he made a good showing. I satisfied
myself that I still have th old punch
by those two clean knockdowns In the
third round. My Judgment of distance
waa a bit faulty, but that la accounted
for by my abaence from tha ring for
alx month.
"What I need I about five or alx of
theaa short-route fights before I take
on Joe Rivers on July 4. They will
just put me In the right trim.
"I have not noticed any in eriecis
from th operation I underwent In Los
Angela. Tha test with Ritchie show
that I am In good shape in the mld-
aection."
More Boeta Are Scheduled.
'Wolgast and Jones leave tomorrow
morning for St. Joseph. Mo, where the
champion will box four rounds with a
local boy on May 17. Then th party
will return to this city and several
other short-distance workout will be
arranged.
Opinion la divided among the right
followers here as to -whether the con
queror of Battling Kelson ha "gone
back." Some hold that the Michigan
lad appeared tired yesterday and ,

EX-CONVICT FINDS FRIEND
Detective Day Supplies Cash for Man
Jua Out of Prison.
Walking Into detective headquarters
yesterday, a well-dressed, respectable
looking man asked for Detective Day.
"I am just out of Walla Walla Peni
tentiary," he said, "and came here to
go to work. A prisoner who knows
you told me that you were a good
fellow and to e you."
Despite his short hair and prison
pallor, the stranger's appearance sug
gested nothing of the penitentiary. He
displayed self-command and confi
dence, with no trace of coarseness. He
said he had a good position awaiting
him Monday, but lacked funds.
"I went to the penitentiary for stealing-
t'io worth of groceries to feed my
wife and children," he said. "I served
seven months and was paroled, but my
wife had found someone she liked bet
ter, and my home-coming was not ac
ceptable. She 'Jobbed' me and had me
sent back, representing that I was
planning to leave the state, t was In
only five days the second time, when
the facts came out and I was par
doned." There was a clink of silver as the
.two men separated, and the stranger
Went away declaring his gratitude.
"And if any 'ex-conB' try to blackmail
you out of your Job," said Day, "you
just let me know."
